About the Role
We're partnering with the world's leading AI research teams to build smarter, more scientifically rigorous AI models — and we need expert biochemists to help make it happen.
As a Biochemistry Subject Matter Expert, your deep knowledge of molecular biology, enzyme kinetics, protein folding, and metabolic pathways will directly shape how next-generation AI reasons about life sciences. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI research without leaving your home — or your area of expertise.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Design Advanced Problems — Craft complex, domain-specific biochemistry challenges across areas like nucleic acid chemistry, proteomics, structural biology, and drug-target interactions to rigorously test AI performance
- Author Ground-Truth Solutions — Write precise, step-by-step technical solutions that serve as benchmarks for high-level scientific reasoning in AI systems
- Audit AI Outputs — Evaluate AI-generated biochemical pathways, molecular structures, and mathematical derivations for scientific accuracy, logical consistency, and adherence to established standards
- Refine AI Reasoning — Identify and document failure modes such as incorrect stoichiometry, flawed stereochemical reasoning, or misapplied kinetic models, and provide structured feedback to improve model performance
